Why do people throw rice about
at weddings? Some persons seem
10 liiHIl that rice is ;ln emblem OF

others that tie throwing of lie rice
is a symbolic attack OIL tie bride

at all. One Of the 'shomeyeSt"
places we ever SAW WAS Ole That was
entirely innocent OF any extrava
gancc in that line. Three hundred
dollars would have covered the cost
OF all the furniture in the house;
but it was a place we always en-
ioyrd visiting. The head OF the
family WAS always jolly and ready
to take Il hand in Il game, aud his
nine children, always hearty And
full OF fun, did net care to be out
III tie evenings. The girls did sew-
ing and knittiugaS they grew old
enough, and the boys were often
.lnaking something" but no eve
ming passed that some one did not
have something to read to the 9th
ers an aEc"dote or Stoiy-solne
thing to instruct. But the main
secret Of their happiness, if II was
a secret. lay i'll the fact that worry

The meeting on Feb. II opened by
singing i" He LeaGeth Me" reading of the
146th Psalm and prayer by the president.
Secretarys report of previous meeting
read and approved.
Treasurer's report submitted and
adopted.
The committee that submitted partial
report at last meeting reported moro at
length, and received the hearty support
OF the union for the work accomplished,
and the committee were continued.
Quite a discussion was had as to the
best methods to pursue in order to in
crease our numbers, and thus add to our
strength and influence. but owing to the
pressure of other matters it was decided
to lay it on the table at present and con-
fer with Mrs. Emmons. who will be with
us at our next meeting.a
The corresponding secretary reported
that Mrs. Emmons would be here to
lecture February rs and q.
Mrs. Kilam and Mrs. Chitty were APP
pointed committee on music for the
evenings of the lecture. Mrs Carson was
requested to have the Band of Hope pre-
pare two songs for the same time.
| Arrangements were completed for the
reception and entertainment OF Mrs. EN-
mons.

OF his horses, however, which occurred
last week by death, will now make it even
more difficult to attend.
The social interest of the past week
centered in the masquerade party which
occurred Monday night. About three
dozen persons appeared in fancy cos
tumee at the Post and Corps hall on that
evening, and were given the exclusive use
of the floor until midnight, when they un-
masqued, a few remaining unrecognized
by their friends until that hour. Four
clowns appeared, personated by E. Smith,
o. Kessler, NJ. Goodwin and w. Siebert.
Miss Mcdonald represented the fashion
able young lady with her poodle; Miss
P. Kessler, the old fashioned girl; Miss
Ashcroft, queen of hearts, and Mrs. j.
Conner, queen of diamonds, with her
husband as Father Hubbard. Mother
Hubbard was also there, but was better
known as Mr.. p. Richards. Hal Colby
attracted attention by his characterizing
the black domino, as did the queens OF
cards, represented by Mrs. p. Richards
and Miss A. Condor. Red Riding Hood
was adopted by Miss Nellie Kessler; Re-
becca, by Miss Bessie Siebert; Starry
Night, Miss M. Bunday; Old Woman,
Gypsy Fortune Teller, Mrs. J. 81. Siebert.
Mr.. Siebert's costume was combina-
ton of italian bandit and Bro. Jonathan.
AS Bro. Gardner, of the Lime Kiln Club,
very few recognized Charles Bamberg, jr.
Towering above those already mentioned
and others whose characterizations were.
not learned, was the erect form of Capt.
jerks, wearing his military uniform with
soldierly dignity quite familiar to the
veteran, l.. LeBron. Music for the dane
ing was furnished by Messrs. Capron,
Bruner, Phillips and a friend of MIR.
Capron's whose name could not be OBJ
tanned. A grab-bag, every article drawn
from which was worth fully as much, or
more, than the ten cents charged for
grab, filled with pleasant curiosity the
company's idle moments. Supper was
served at Wheeler Bros store, through
the kindness of w. Wheeler. Though
the party was advertised as under the
auspices of Collyer Corps, their "big
brothers" of the Post gave valuable as
sistance, and the evenings success was
greatly aided by their efforts.

Newspapers i'm lSS1.

Geo P. Rowell X Co.,, of New York, issued on Monday, May 2d, the 18th annual edition of their standard publi- cation, the "American Newspaper Directory"
 The new volume contains an exhaus- tive list of all class publications so ad- mirably arranged that any one of the three thousand papers represented there can be readily referred to and all impor- tant facts concerning it, together with it's circulation rating, easily obtained.
 The Newspaper Directory will be used principally by publishers, adver- tisers and advertising agents, but the vast fund of information it contains makes tt valuable to persons of almost every trade and profession. As 8 Gazetteer alone it is worth the price charged, $500, for it fully describes every town in which newspaper lis issued, and few people care to know about any place where one is not. The number of papers published in the United States, Territories including Alaska) and Canada, is put at 15, APO i; an increase of 5S1 in one year. The growth of newspapers in some of the Western States would be a matter of wonder, if 1t were not that this year is no exception to the rule. In Kansas the increase is S9 and in Nebraska 64 :; while the Keystone State shows a smaller advance of 35 and the Buckeye State of 30.
